Pickleball
I went to IG and played PB with Craig, Sue and Dave. I got a few annuals at Bomgaars. 4 packs were $1.25. Denny went to work after working on getting the mowers running. uffda!!! When I got home I took a nap, fixed pork loin roast and cauliflower in the crock pot, and started to mow. It was going well, then there was a metal panel that had blown off a roof, so I turned off the mower to move the panel. WRONG MOVE!! It would not start again. Uffda!! I got willow sticks for Pastor from the pruning I had done earlier. We got a reservation for Prairie Whole for the month of May and today we got a booking for May 4-10 of the Home place. I spent a lot of time putting together a hammock instagram. At night when Denny came home we spend much time trying to get my mower moving NOPE. He had to pull it with the bobcat. Sweet new about Rose from Lisa VK.

SO pretty!!!After a nap I started to mow, but when I was in the soccer field, (close to being done) This mower seemed to get clogged up, so I drove it back to the machine shed.

YES!!!! Plants in the ground
Denny left to drive tractor with instructions on basement and garage jobs. So that was what I worked on. Dusted, checked towels, changed bedding. Then took out trash, moved suitcases, took a load to CSA. When I got that done, after several rests, I started to plant lisianthus in the clay garden. with some snapdragons. Teresa had invited me to her place, I didn't want to go until I got the plugs in the hayseed garden also. It is suppose to rain. Well, when I got done putting them in the ground, I put on clean clothes and headed to T. Short visit there, offered pink flower dishes to Tatum, she'd think about it On way home I stopped at Sherry's nice short visit. I was home little after 5. SO thankful to get plants in the ground. I think I put in about 100 lisi. Fun conversation with BB my painting teacher about getting a picture hung up. Missy, Louise and Anabel ran 10 K.

Dentist appointment.
I slept pretty well, up at 6, in to dentist at 8. My crown was put in 1987 and still looks good. Perhaps the pain in the tooth is the inside eating itself or something like that. SC Oaths maybe could put a hole in crown and treat infection $1500. Or pull tooth $300-500, then implants $5K. But I have time to think about it. Probably wait until it starts to hurt again. Uffda. At home Denny cleaned bunk house, got odd running thru kitchen area. I tried to plant some littles in soil blocks. Uffda!! mainly got kitchen floor and sink a dirty mess. Denny got lawn mower running. Good day, but I sure feel tired a lot.

We both drove to church and afterwards Denny went home and I continued my chilling by the water after services. Moorehead park. Pretty out there. Kinda windy. I stayed about 2 hours and read thru the first part of our new SS book about Ruth. I got home and took a nap. Jean called about 4 and had returned from Minneapolis so I went to get the eucalyptus she picked up at the post office for me. For sure that wasn't the best idea. Uffda!!

Getting ready to head north
Pickleball 8-9. Denny washed the outdoor furniture. We rolled up the carport rug and moved Bruce's truck to our carport. We returned Spectrum. Next year we will have to check it out again. We spent some time at the pool. Reals came over after supper. I fixed the bread from the freezer and guacamole using up the rest of the avocados. It is my hope that I won't ave to pay $9 a lisianthus plant. Lord, let the seeds/plants I started grow and have flowers.
